Dizka, please get your recording equipment ready.

[HEyHEY]

1. Takes one to know one?

Oh wait.. that doesn't work... how about "Pat Bucanan is a cock"?

[devilgrrl]

2. and Pat Buchanan is rectal cancer

what an ass! :argh:

[wryter2000]

3. Purulent pustules don't get a vote

Crawl back under your rock, pus-head.

[Tace]

4. Sounds More Like A Back-Handed Compliment Than An Insult...

coming from Pat Buchannan. He's actually pretty much anti-war.

[Horse with no Name]

7. That's how I took it

Metastasize means also "to spread".
She HAS spread the peace movement.
That is a good thing.

[XanaDUer]

16. That's how I take it , too.

...

[Straight Shooter]

28. I agree with the benign assessment of his use of the word "metastasize"

(No pun intended.)

[n2doc]

18. And hopefully terminal for the Bush admin, too.... n/t

[Don Claybrook]

20. Add a third

I didn't see the show, and there's not much context, but it sounds like he might just as well have said that she's caused the peace movement to spread like wildfire.

[hippywife]

27. Sounds that way to me,too, Don. n/t

[bluestateguy]

5. Pat Buchanan represents the racist, nativist side of the peace movement

So it's natural that he would consider Sheehan a rival.

[wakeme2008]

6. I will take the other side of this issue

IMHO,,, Cindy is a "malignant tumor" on Bush's War President poll numbers.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

8. TYJ calls Pat Buchannon a blowhard has-been dickless wonder.

[H2O Man]

23. Though he is old now

Pat has never been a mere "blowhard has-been dickless wonder." He's actually an older tough guy. Pat used to get in his share of fights,and as a young man, when a red-neck cop was pushing him around for no reason, Pat beat the hell out of the officer. He was a very tough man.

On the other hand, his opinion is often extremely offensive, and that hasn't changed a lot with age.

[blm]

9. Actually, it's a compliment folks. It means she's a serious danger to Bush

.

[Cha]

13. Yeah, anybody that can

be a "malignant tumor" on the bushwa has a lot goin' for them.

Let's hope Fitzgerald is another Malignant Tumor!

[Cleita]

10. It seems she got their attention.

Karl Rove called her a clown. Now Buchanan calls her a malignant tumor. I say she should get the Nobel Peace Prize so they can choke on that for awhile.

[donheld]

11. I hope she is a malignant tumor on the life of the Bush Regime

I hope it swells bigger than Rita, and Katrina combined and then i hope it totally destroys the presidency and the cabal that goes along with it. This is one tumor I can get behind!

[Jim Sagle]

12. Pat loved Cindy when he thought she was a piece of Nazi filth like him.

When it turned out she was no such thing, he felt jilted.

[Lerkfish]

14. calm down, I think he MEANT to say "galvanized" or "catalyzed" nt

[Mutley]

15. He meant to say HE'S a malignant tumor

and accidentally inserted Cindy Sheehan's name instead.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

17. I think that PB actually says things to keep in good favor with the

RNC/Rep. Leaders. Because I have heard him call Desert Storm and this Iraq War "Blood for Oil". Now I'm not saying he's left of center, but he has sounded almost liberal on war issues.

[greekspeak]

19. "Greekspeak calls Pat Buchannan the unwiped crack of an ass"

:rofl:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

21. Pat Buchanan: Open sore on the soul of America. n/t

[unkachuck]

22. no....

....a carbuncle on the a$$ of humanity....

[Robeson]

24. Robeson says Pat Buchannan is a "malignant turd".

[karlrschneider]

25. We don't get it 'til Sunday at 1 pm CDT, my TIVO records all them

I'm no fan of PB, but now and then he says something that makes sense.

[paineinthearse]

32. When you get it, please transcribe and post

We all know how fast that show goes, bit I'm pretty sure what I wrote was pretty close.

[stepnw1f]

26. Meaning: "Cindy Represents a Major Threat?"

"And she is now taking over?"

Well in that case, I hope she metastasizes.

[Matariki]

29. your subject line is deceptive.

since that's not what he said at all.

[UTUSN]

30. Malignant-tumor Calls Pat BUCHANAN-------- PAISANO! n/t

[daleo]

31. Metastasize could also mean "cause unstoppable growth"

So, in some ways this could be construed as a sort of a compliment.

i.e. unstoppable growth of the anti-war movement.

[The_Casual_Observer]

33. "A cancer on the presidency"? I certainly hope so!

[ForrestGump]

34. Id's nod a doomah...

[Tallison]

35. It's a testament to her activism n/t

[paineinthearse]

36. Did any mid-west / western members get the exact quote?

Hoping the 7PM eastern time alert would have given western members time to set-up their tivo's and/or watch to get the exact words.

:shrug:
